- 4. How to use ABAD
-
-
- Well, there is not much to say about this...
-
- Make sure the ALLFIX-environment-variable is set.
- All needed information will be taken from the Allfix-Setup
- - so you do not need an extra config for ABAD.
-
- ABAD can create a report on screen or create an external
- report-file.
-
- For the on-screen-report just call ABAD without commandline parameters.
- To redirect output to an external report-file just pass the
- output filename on the command-line.
-
- Example:
- ABAD - report on your monitor
- ABAD ABAD.RPT - external report-file 'ABAD.RPT'
- ABAD C:\FD\ALLFIX\BADTIC.TXT - report-file 'BADTIC.TXT' in directory 'BADTIC.TXT' in the directory
- 'C:\FD\ALLFIX'
-
-
- Following is a summary of the possible reasons ABAD will report:
-
- file missing:
- There is no file with the filename mentioned in the .tic-file
- in the BadTics-dir.
-
- unknown file-echo:
- Your ALLFIX does not know a file-echo with this name.
-
- sec violation:
- The sender is not allowed to send files in this file-echo.
-
- password error:
- The password in the tic-file does not match the password in the
- node-manager.
-
- bad crc:
- The crc of the file is not the same as stated in the tic-file.
-
- dupe:
- You already received the same file in the file-echo.
-
- no idea!:
- If all of the above does not fit...
- Could it be that you copied some tics with files to the badmail-dir
- to check what ABAD would say to this ? ;-)
